Oregon State rundown: Who is this mystery school that keeps trying to pilfer a Beavers' commit?

During a Monday teleconference call with Mike Riley - who is sweating out the final hours before National Letter of Intent Day - I noted the recruiting sites are impressed with OSU’s
ability to keep some key commits who got pressured by other schools.

“I’m
really pleased with the loyalty that our commits have shown,'' said Riley.

"It
becomes an issue. It’s very obvious that everybody is fair game until
signing day. That’s just the nature of the world that we’re in. Even at
this late date, we were just talking about one of our recruits who
continues to get a ton of calls from this one school in particular. I
don’t think we’re going to lose the kid, but it doesn’t end until
signing day. That’s one thing we’ve learned. … we’ve had a lot of guys
who have been committed for a long time.’’

Cheergate. It doesn't have the sizzle of Dick Harter in 1974, or Gary Payton in 1987, but it still rankled some people that the Beavers' cheer/dance team wasn't allowed to set foot on Matt Court Sunday
